Got a retune!

I added a vararam and got my tuner to retune and do some fine tunning on the motor and spray. The driviablity is awesome and the power is there. My new numbers are 435 rwhp 416 ftlbs on the moter. on a 150 shot it made 560.70 rwhp and 667.58 ftlbs. Im very excited to hit the track and see what the ole Vette will do. Just thought Id share

Thanks. All that is done is Vara Ram, LG Pro LT's, no cats, B&B Bullets, G5X4, LS6 intake, LS6 Heads, 150 Shot and my tuner is very good. The nitrous is a wet kit with the nitrous plate. I guess I got a really good engine and a good tune A/F stays around 12.5-12.7 on the spray with a stock fuel pump

Yea and the reason is I had a custom intake system. The MAF was about 4 ft from the TB. I got the Vara Ram and the Vara Ram bridge. The new bridge relocated the MAF to right on the TB. So it screwed some things up.

You're right, I didn't realize Happa did not have a Z06!! I consider the boltons standard anymore, if someone doesnt have them they should!!
